Product Technologies / Benefits:

Ultra-Glide Valve: Kohler has created the next generation of faucet valve technology with their Ultra-Glide ceramic valve. With high quality engineered ceramic materials this valve is built to be exceedingly durable and ultra smooth. With a lifetime of leak-free performance guaranteed, the Ultra-Glide is rated for up to 4,000,000 on/off cycles beating the industry standard by eight times. Unlike standard valves the Ultra-Glide confines the water below the valve stem, keeping the majority of components dry at all times; this reduces the corrosion and deterioration that affects most valves by eliminating the most common leak paths. Additionally this valve increases the turning radius of the faucet handles, allowing for greater and more pin-point control over volume and temperature of dispensed water. The Ultra-Glide represents the pinnacle in versatility, being found in bathroom, kitchen and even bidet faucets, it will last a lifetime and bring any home into the new age of faucet technologies.

Quick Mount Installation: With Kohler’s innovative valve technologies installation is now as simple as one-two-three. Simply place the faucet handles in the desired position on the counter-top and the valve cartridge threads directly in from the bottom with a locking nut. Now all that is required is the tightening of two mounting screws. In addition to the ease of installation, this process also gives an extra-secure mounting assembly. Where most faucet handles will loosen over time these handles will hold firmly in place for the life of the faucet.

WaterSense/Eco-Performance: To help make a difference on a global scale and further its role as industry leaders in eco-performance practices, Kohler has established partnerships with a number of environmental organizations, including WaterSense. Many Kohler faucets are equipped with low-flow aerators; meaning they use less water, while continuing to meet superior performance standards.

Product Specifications:

Overall Height: 4-7/8" (measured from the counter top to the highest part of the faucet)

Spout Height: 3" (measured from the counter top to the spout's outlet)

Spout Reach: 5-1/8" (measured from the center of the faucet base to the center of the spout's outlet)

Nice Faucet but....The Kohler Forte brushed nickel faucet is really beautiful. Fits well in transitional to contemporary bathroooms. We have three of them in our contemporary baths. The handles turn efforlessly which is great when your hands are all soaped up. You can just use the back of your hand to turn on and off. However, as several other people have noted in various online reviews, some of these faucets spray outward unevenly rather than in a nice smooth straight flow. With one of the faucets, a little jiggling seems to have taken care of the problem. With another, nothing helped, including replacing the aerators. We took the aerator out and it is workable. The third worked fine from the beginning. There is something wrong with the aerators on these faucets. Nevertheless, I would buy them again because the look is perfect and we did manager to get them working OK. Dealing with Faucet Direct was a pleasure.

A Journeyman FaucetThis is a servicable faucet - nothing over-the-top fancy but it gets the job done (hence the title).
Replaced a 20 year old faucet with this product, and while this unit works well and was relatively easy to install it is not of the same quality of the original faucet.
I guess everything is disposable now.

save me from homeownersEverything you sent was fine. Unfortunately the Owner, by selecting without my advice, ordered a wrong item. The owner is now going to correct it herself. Its amazing how people who know nothing about construction suddenly become more knowlegeable than some like myself with 40 years in the business.

I now own 3 of these...This is our second bathroom remodel. We purchased these same faucets for our other bathroom and love them. The look great, high quality, and work great. For the price I don’t think you can get a better faucet. Not to mention that they look great.

Well made and attractive faucetMy wife and I were looking to purchase another style of Kohler faucet and were shown this model, too, at a local plumbing store. My wife instantly liked this faucet style and thought the brushed chrome was eye catching and different so we made the purchase through faucetdirect that day and saved abaout 25% off the retail store price. We were delighted to receive the faucets in less time than expected and installation took place soon thereafter. Kohler makes a great faucet both in style and durability but I will offer one comment about maintainence. We find you may have to exercise a little more care with brushed chrome to wipe away water drops after each use that may fall on the faucet and levers as they leave spots if left alone. It's not a big thing however, but anyone looking for beautiful "super easy care" faucets may want to consider the standard chrome finish.

Sleek styling, but...I discounted another reviewer's comment that instead of a smooth jet, the water comes out in a scattered spray, thinking that the filter screen/aerator must have had debris in it and merely needed cleaning. But in my case, this is not the problem and I can't determine the cause of the splayed spray.

Very goodThe faucets are very nice and very good looking. I don't like the spray stream that is put out. It is very thin and strong. It also sprays out in different directions. I cleaned the aerators to no avail. I don't know if you can get different aerators. I would like a more rounded wider stream coming out of the faucet.

Great looking and very functionalThe handles work so smoothly that one can turn them off with the back of your hand with out dripping any water around the faucet. I like the distance the faucet comes into the sink. For example, I find it useful while filling a container to give my dogs a drink. The only negative was that I had to pay extra for a metal drain cap rather than the plastic that was part of the package. I decided to pay extra, as I didn't know how the plastic would hold up in the long run.

Very HappyI purchased this Kohler lav set with fingers crossed, and it has turned out to be perfect for our needs. We have it installed with a Kohler Caxton vanity sink, and they're terrific together. I ended up buying more of them (in a different finish) to use in the other bathrooms. Great product!

Quality brand product shipped in used packagingThe faucets look fine (not yet installed) as I knew Kohler products would be. I was shocked to receive two faucets in a used Lands' End box with crossed out shipping label. The faucets appear new, but both boxes had been opened and the parts were just thrown in. One box had writing on it. I do not know if I would order again because I expected factory-direct shipping, not re-selling.

Beautiful!We bought two of these in polished chrome to go with new Kohler Memiors sinks. The are simple but beautiful. The spout reaches into the sink nicely so you aren't bumping against the back of the sink when you are washing your hands. The lever handles are easy to maneuver even with soapy hands. Solid brass construction makes the faucets feel substantial and expensive.
